About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go Live Life!

ABOUT ME

I am passionate. I love to travel: immerse myself in culture, meet new people, learn. I endeavour to capture the world and document my experiences through my camera lens.

I have an adventurous spirit and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Travel is a remarkable education.

I love nature and the great outdoors. I find the serenity and harmony rejuvenating and awe inspiring.

I am a bit of an adrenaline junkie - sky diving, free riding... yet, I like to ponder life, philosophize, listen to classical music and enjoy a glass, or perhaps a bottle, of red wine.

"The journey not the arrival matters." ~T. S. Eliot

Music, Movies, and Books

I generally don't find the time to watch too many movies, but some of my favourites include: Amelie, Life is Beautiful, The Red Violin and The Princess Bride.

Music: I love a wide spectrum of music; essentially, anything with musical merit.

Books: too many great books to list!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2011 I attended Burning Man for the first time. Words fail to describe this epic experience! Ask me, I'll talk your ear off!
